“It’s great that you’re back! It’s great!” Lou Potian’s eyes dimmed, but a smile appeared on his face.
“Quick, come into the house. Although we just bought this house, we had someone tidy it. It’s extremely clean now. As for the other furniture, Shaoning accompanied me to buy quite a few of them. You can stay here for the night.”
“That’s great!” The Lou family’s juniors started cheering.
“Qianxue, come with me. I have something to say to you.”
After entering the house, Lou Potian summoned Lou Qianxue.
Lou Xiaoxiao shot a meaningful look at Lou Qianxue, who smiled and followed Lou Potian into the house.
Both of them chatted for more than an hour, and they only came out until it was dinner time.
Lou Potian’s gloomy look had completely disappeared. He had become energetic again. During the meal, he even announced his plan to make the Lou family great again in the future.
His speech fired up the youthful juniors of the Lou Family and made them excited.
However, Lou Xiaoxiao did not like it when they acted like that.
“If we want to rebuild the Lou Family, all of you will be our pillars of support in the future. No matter what happens, you’re not allowed to cry. Understood?”
Lou Xiaoxiao acted like an older sister.
Seeing this, Lou Qianxue shook her head with a laugh.
Lou Potian said, “Shaoning helped me a lot today. When you’re free, treat him to a meal on my behalf.”
“Sure.” Lou Xiaoxiao glanced at Lou Qianxue. “Li Tingtao and Bai Muyan from Qingyun City also joined the academy. We can have a gathering with both of them, Hong Qinghe, and An Yuzhi.”
Lou Qianxue thought about two years ago when the families of Liuyun Prefecture had been eager to see her. “Okay. It has been so long since we last had a gathering. It’s good to have a a meal together.”
“It’s such a pity that Zhuixin went to the Alchemy King Mansion…”
Night fell.
Lights flickered everywhere.
Lou Qianxue was together with Lou Xiaoxiao, who finally asked her about the scars on her face.
“It’s because of the poisonous fire. It’s fine. After a while, when I completely absorb the Phantom Demon Heart Fire, it’ll become better.”
“Then, I’m relieved. A pretty girl like you can’t have a ruined face like that.”
With her worries gone away, Lou Xiaoxiao returned to her room.
Lou Qianxue’s surroundings became immediately quiet.
She sighed and sat by the edge of the bed for a while. Then, she contemplated the pill she needed to refine for the Crown Prince of Tian Zhao.
After a long time.
“That’s it!”
Suddenly opening her eyes, she retrieved the Fire Sun Cauldron and some herbs from the Mountain River Space.
After ensuring that everything was prepared…
Whoosh!
She controlled the abnormal fire, ignited the cauldron, and started refining the pill in order…
Time slowly passed.
The faint fragrance of the herbs drifted across the room…
Suddenly…
Creak!
A sound entered Lou Qianxue’s ears.
At the same time, a cold breeze blew into the room.
“Huh?” Lou Qianxue’s expression changed as she raised her head and looked at the window.
She only saw…
A man dressed in white, with perfect features and a handsome face. He was straddling the window pane and was on the verge of entering the room.
Without any warning, Lou Qianxue’s pretty gaze met a pair of cold, merciless, and emotionless eyes.
At the next moment, the person with that cold gaze froze on the spot.
In that position…
Lou Qianxue’s heart skipped a beat.
Thump!
The Fire Sun Cauldron, which was filled with the fragrance of herbs, exploded.
“…” Lou Qianxue held onto her forehead. “The cauldron actually exploded…”
When the man in white, who was straddling the windows, saw that she had averted her gaze, he started moving again.
“I blew up the cauldron for the first time because…”
She shot a meaningful glance at the window.
The man in white paused again.
In the room, one of them was sprawled on the window pane, while the other was sitting on the bed.
Both of them stared at each other.
The entire room instantly became silent.
After a long time.
The man at the window averted his gaze, forced himself to remain calm, and expressionlessly entered the room.
